Is creating an album from the Galery tab the same as creating it from your profile page?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Why to you say you like to make the Galery album?

It makes more sense to me to uplaod a bunch of ducl, peafowl, turkey, whatever pictures to and existing album or new album instead of uplaoding them to the "miscellaneous" category

Clicking album one can use an existing album or make a new one as shown below.

Does that make sense?

I can't remember (if i ever knew) how to select a specific foto for the album cover. My covers change every time I upload more pics.

There is a feature cycles your selected pictures as your cover photo. This can be changed to cycle through all, some, or have it show just one picture. If you want to edit an album:

Thank you for the answer about changing my album cover. That worked for me.

My other question arose because I see you begin your album with the Gallery tab and I began and created mine by starting from my profile page by uploading a photo and making an album there. Is there any difference?

I have only used that icon to upload my own media.

I think it can be set when you create the album, but I always forgot to.

I'm not sure I understand. Can you post a screenshot of how you create your albums? I'm always looking for new ways to use the site!

Right, it will only let you post pictures that you uploaded to the gallery. Is that what you mean?

I do not know how to create a screenshot.......
All I can say is I did not use the gallery tab but instead the my account tab which has an Add Media button also. I suppose my photos are in the gallery, I never really looked for them there.

I am beginning to suspect I am wrong about how I created the albums, even though one is recent.. I do so much by pure trial and error. Let me try to replicate by making another album before you waste more time on this one. And thanks again for solving the other issue!

Let me know! One of the great things about this new software is that there are often many ways to do the same thing, so I'd really like to know how you did it.
